While rolling down i355 today, my trusty Ducati '00 996s hit 5 thousand miles. I bought it with 4380, so I have put 620 miles on it this year. Average for this bike is 625 a year. While I have owned this bike, the only mechanical defect has been a turn signal bulb. Fuck your gixxers. Ducati rules. That is all.

That is a smiley from here. iPhone fail me thinks. And Phil, I went to lunch with the inlaws. I was called to work, so I took a seperate vehicle. You can ride with me anytime. Not only are you a cool cat, but you have a awesome looking Honda.

The previous owner nicked the fork tube. Ducati wanted $1150 for a new one. I went on ebay and bought both complete forks for $300. I added racetech springs and take off PP, and it feels like a totally different bike. The front was light accelerating out of turns, but tightening the rear shock took care of it. It handles really well, and I am much more confident with it in the twisties. Now I keep thinking of the 8 year old belts. It will get the 6K mile over winter.

I hit 7,000 miles this weekend on the Gixxer. Bought it last July with about 2,000 miles on it.

I went from around 7700 to 12500 on my 600rr so far this year. That ride to the smokey mountains helped out a lot though.

I may have to drive my car today. After that, it is going to sit for at least 9 days while I'm on vacation. I'll probably yank out the battery and put it on a tender.

Before you go... Steve needs a tire put on really bad. The steel belts started to FRAY by the time we got back to Love's. He almost got it to 1 single long silver streak on the back of his tire.
